Master Of the Rolls should hav'e jeonsentedl6 forego the , addition of that seat and those functions in the HouSe , of -Lords, whickwere enjoyed. by his hunie diate predeceks'or. This sitrprise is' itself very sin:- ' prising. Why . should Sir ,JOIIN COPLEY reject the superiutendance ,of the Rolls Couit because it comes to him unaccompanied by an office with which circumstances united it, and from which they may again sever it-- , .which circumstances created, and may again extinguish-rand which, at all events; has no More affinity with the , proper duties and authority of . the Master of the Rolls, than with those of the Chief Justice of Bengal,.:or. the Justiza of Arragon ? Why 'should . Sir..lonsi COPLEY be dissatisfied with the Mastership of the Rolls; in all the plenitude of its ancient functions and honours-7-in that state in which. LordiKEVVON and Lord ALVANLEY were content to hold it as a prelude to a yet more splendid sequel,—in that state in which, withont either sequel or.accoinpa nithent, it filled the ambition of Sir JOSEPH JEKYLL and Sir'WM. GRANT ? •- • ' • r •'• • • Weighed in the scales of interest, it would surely, seem that the Mastership of the. Rolls can gain little by the annexation of a barren coronet and a laborious duty. Considerations 'of interest, it will, however,' be said, must . vanish before thOse of dignity Be it so. Does the Master 'of the. Rolls, then, who becomes Deputy-Spealc4r of the House of Peers, lose nothing of dignity by tile . promotion ? Is it nothing to be the only,Judge of.the highest class, whom the Commons of England admit to a .seat within their ,walls ?. Is it no privilege that. he may freely display his ermine amidst the warfare of the democratical elements of our Constitution, thus proVing it to be intertwined with . the strong armour of political vvisdom, and with the good staple of English sense, feeling, and virtue? It was indeed thought by a. departed statesman, that the.Maiter of the Rolls should be debarred from a seat in the ,Houle of . Commons on. this principle, that the intermixture. of the political with the judicial character cannot fail to impair the dignity of the lat ter. But no such principle seems known to the Con stitution. Even the Twelve Judges of En t gland, to whom, as holding the balance 'of criminal inaicature between the State and the subject, the disqualification might be thought peculiarly to attach, are excluded from the House of Commons, not in obedience to any such inle, but by, a narrower jealousy, and on more limited grounds. The Commons deem the Twelve Judges ineligible to a place in the Commons House, only because they have seats in the House of LordS,thoiigh their duties in that House are confined to an expositiond, ihe existing laws whenever their opinion is required.. Whatever be the force of the latter objec tion, or of the former, neither of them can apply in the instance under consideration. The Master of the ItOls has no criminal jurisdiction, excepting as he is a member of the Privy Council ; and though entitled (we conceive) to a seat in the Upper House as one of the Judges of the Conn of Chancery, he is not' in fact accustomed to exercise the privilege. If antiquity can. confer or fortify rights, let it he recollected that the Judges of the Rolls Court have been held eligible as Representatives of the Commons for nearly three hundred years ; that is, ever since they ceased to be spiritual persons, and, to sit in convoca tion. If the manner in :Which rights are exercised forms any consideration in deciding the question whether they should be enjoyed, let living experience attest the gravity,,the ability, the effect, with which a Master of the Rolls has comported, himself as a ComMoner in Parliament. No man, surely, who witnessed the Par liamentary appearance of the last person that united in himself those two' characters, *could 'seriously have wished, ,either to despoil the Judge of such a privilege, or to deprive' the Senate of such a member. " Stye. lideS huberetur, sive honos,et connnitti et omari hune jnstissinee posse, intelligehant.' Of Sir Joing CoPLEY, in his new capaCity, as a highly dignified, and at the' saine time perfectly index pendent Member of Parliament,emiSiderable expecta tions will' probably be entertained. By the temper ance of his official Cc:mallet lie has . coneiliated time esteem even of his adversaries; 'while, as a debater,. he has won the applause and the respect of «listening Senates" by his talent, 'knowledge, 'vigour, cheerful courage, and ,unfailing ,goOtt•humour. An ampler scope will •now-be afforded to his exertions. There can be no doubt that,. Vile does himself justice, lie Inay.ac quire a great degree of weight, both with the House of Commons and with the community. On many sub jects, it will he in his power rather to lead than to follow opinion ; and by pursuing, in general, a fair, moderate, and independent course, it seems to us that lie will not only best consult his reputation, both pre sent and future, but that he will most surely and most Honourably achieVe those ulterior prizes of dignity to which ' he is evidently invited by Ina ambition, its emi nent qualifications, and his prosperous fortune. that The friends of humanity will: be glad to hear a boefit is' to take place 'at the' Coburg.

Mr. BRODERICK appeared for the prosecution, and stated the case to the Jury. A Mrs. Dalway lived as a lodger with Mr. Moss, upon whom the prisoner was in the habit of attending. Mrs. Dalway died, and the prisoner was sent fok,end sat up 'with the corpse, when it writ supposed she took away the property in question, which belonged to the deceased. Mr. Storey was the executor of the late Mrs. Dalway. Mr. Storey deposed that he was one of the executors ; went to the house of Mr. Moss to take an inventory of the property which belonged to deeeased. In consequence of something that had - passed, witness sent for prisoner,. and then asked her if she knew the object of his having sent for her ;, she said, no, unless it was in consequence of some paper having been taken from under the. bed. Wit ness told her that was not the object, but it was in respect of some money having been taken away, and asked her if she had not been so informed on that morning; prisoner denied it; witness then sent'for Mrs.'Moss, whO' stated that she had informed prisoner of the Object, who at that time admitted it. It was on Monday, the 28th of August that this transpired. Cross-examined by Mr. AniEi-'—Had not yet taken out probate, nor begun to act as an executor until the 28th, after the alleged offence had. been committed. By the Coun't-Prisoner was Mrs. D.'t confidential servant, and would lave - had let late .mistress's property till it was put into the hand of the executors. • Mr. Round; itittbstribing - witness the - will, proved the execution of 'it. ' The will appointed Mr. Storey an executor. Mrs. E. Hilly ar d li ve d f or ma n y 'years - with deceased it Kensington. During Mrs. D.'s lifetiMe, witness had the care of her clothes and property.' Mi. D. always' kept her money in'the Cellaret during the day-time, and inva riably gave it to witness at night to put under the bed. On the day Mrs. D. died, there were three parcels of Money in the cellaret, which witness saw there on the fol liming morning. Prisoner came to the house about an. hour before the death, and remained till Monday, having had the care of the corpse • and room during that time. The money was.placed by witness in the room where the corpse was on the Friday or Saturday. No one , had ad.; mittance there except the prisoner and' her 'niece. Did not open the parcels when she removed them, to know that the money was in them. By Mr. ALLEY—Did not know of her own knowledge, that money was in the parcels; the parcels were wrapt up, in paper, but did not know what they c on t a i ne d. • By Mr. BRODERICK—Prisoner left the house on Mon day morning, about an hour after the money, was missed. By the Comr--This was the Way in which Mrs. I). Malay kept her money. Susan Rust was servant to Mrs. Matthews, of Kensing ton; knows the prisoner at the bar ; she lived about ten 'minutes walk from Mrs. Matthews's bonse; witness forMerly lived two years as servant to prisoner; on the 19th Of Au gust 'prisoner •Ctime'to witness, - gave'her apar& , l, and de sired her to take care of it for her; thi!i'was bet Ween seven And eight o'CloCk 'in the Morning; witness put the panel into her"box, and afterwards delivered, it to Ellis, a Bow street officer. Ellis, in canieqUence of information received, went to the house Qf Mrs. Matthews, on Tuesday, the 29th of August, and got a parcel from the last witness, which contained 24 sovereigns and a 101. note. Afterwards saw. the prisoner; enquired of her if. she had any means of getting her livelihood but as a nurse; she hesitated to reply, and witness told her who he was, and that where she had been staying, some money was missing. She Said she had some property on mortgage; she usually received thoney from her bmther, hut had not for some time. She denied a dozen tunes over having placed any in the hands of anybody for safe custody or otherwise. Witness then chewed her the parcel as 'received from Rust, which she acknowledged having delivered to him. A clerk from the banking-house of Praed and CO. paid, on the 11th of July, three 101. notes, to the cheque of a Mr.. Alexander. Mr. •Hunt,. a clerk to Mr. Alexander, a solicitor, re ceived the notes. froth last witness, and paid 'them to his diadem Mr;Alexander paid the notes to his nephew, to deliver over to Mrs. D. • Mr. Bronme'delivered over 40/: to Mrs. D. on or before the 12th off July, included in which there , was th e . 1(1 /. note the prisoner was charged with having stolen. The note was produced. , At the close of the case for the prosecution, Mr. Alley submitted, that no charge had been made out against the prisoner, because it. was necessary for probate of the will to have been taken out, to have legally authenticated (as he said) the executor to have acted, which had not yet been taken out, and because possession ought to have been taken before the offence was committed, which had not been done in this ease. Mr. Sergeant Attmini was of a different opinion, lint as the .itidges were in the adjoining room he would submit Mr. Alley's argument to them, and take their opinion upon it, confessing that his impression was against Air. Alley's pro positions. Mi. - Serg e a n t Arabia then left the Court; and in a few minutes, returned, stating,that the Learn ed ','Judges Were decidedly of opinion that it sas not necessary that probate should be taken out to enable .an executor to maintain` an indictment, and that the present. indictuiesn, WAS in all , respects well fratned. The prisoner was then called on for her defence: She 'made none, but produced an immense number of highly respectable" 'Orson' Achngave her a m6St excellent cha racter for liOnesty, Ste. The prisimer was evidently a:person who had seen better days, and was about the age of 45. Mr. Sergeant. ARAIIIN summed up. If the joy 'enter tAined'the' least 'doubt of the 'prisoner's guilt, they would have to give her the benefit Of the most excellent dlitruc tr she had received. The Jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty, but strongly recommended her to mercy. Mr. STOREY cordially joined in this recommendation.

BOW-STREET.—(TrIIi DAY. ) POLYGAMY..--Edward Toll* Jarvis, who was remanded last week on a charge of polygamy, was brought up this morning fOr re-examination: Not only the Office, but every avenue lead ing thereto, was crowded to suffocation. Two of his wives at tended, one of whom was iri deep mourning, and appeared to be much - afflicted, and far gone with child by the prisoner. She was averse to the prosecution, riot wishing to have it said that the father of her child had been 'transported. _ 7 . Mr. AtACMIFF appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Hum, mums for the prisoner. Mr. MACDUFF commenced by saying that he would prove the fist marriage by identifying the hand-writing of the snbscribing Witnesses, who' were now dead, and the band-writing of the prisoner. Sir lt. linixtE—Did not wish to dictate his duty to the' So lieitor, hat he should first prove the death of the subscribing witnesses. Mr. Maeda!' said thnt he should he able to do so, and Balled John. George Leigh, Deputy-Register of St. George's Church, Ilanover-Square, who produced the certificate of the marriage of Edward Jarvis to Michael Pearce, on the 16th of December; 1797. This was signed by 1 Ash, then curate of the parish. The subscribing Witnesses were T. H. Thompson and Cabel Greville. This witness proved tee death awl hand-writinf of the two subscribing witnesses, and also that of the •Clergyrnah ; could ,not, however, swear that he was dead. Charles Macduff deposed to the prisoner's band-Writing, ac knowledging that marriage. Mr. Maed' said that he would call John Stratton, to prove that he saw the prisoner's first wife three weeks ago. John Stratton was then called, but did not answer. Nfr. Macduff said, that Mr. Stratton attended last week, and . had then stated, that he ionld'give the evidence now proposed, but as he had not attendee! lie would call another person who could give testimony to the same effect, John Pinvis being sworn, deposed, that lives! in London- . house-yard ; was a builder ; the prisoner had worked for him ; 'knew-hinr to he a married man,' fur four years ; saw him walk with his wife and san ; saw his wife within this year ; had been • introduced to her by prisoner's son. Mr. fluatemone.-41e may be an illegitimate son. Mr. Macdnff did not care for that—there was sufficient denee of his first wife being now alive.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - SIR—As an incorrect statement respecting the Hop Plantations in this County (Notts.), has been copied into several of the London and Provincial Newspapers, from a c'ertain London Weekly Journal, which statement origi. gaily emanated from an interested individual, I take the liberty of sending you the following account, which may lie relied upon as correct. I am, Sir, your's, &c. East Retford, Sept. 21. A sTANT READER. The Hop Plantations in the North Clay District, are now nearly ail deprived of their towering production, and the Hops, 'nest a them, have been securely bagged, and in excellent condition ; the aVerage produce of the present year will considerably exceed the educe of any year in the recollection of the oldest Hop-grower, l atd, as is generally the case, when the crop is extensive, the qua lity and flavour of the Hop is always superior in proportion ; so that not only will the exuberance of the present year's growth tend materially to depreciate the price, but the quality Will render al, smaller quantity necessary, in rendering Sohn Bull's far-fanied biverage palatable to its numerous and obsequious devotees. Sr viral of the Plantations in this neighbourhood aVerage (rain twelve to sixteen, (and in some instances) eighteen cwt. per acre ; the simples are finer and brighter, and have fewer hieWn Hops inter ritixed, thorn has been the case fora long series of years; the pre lint prices may be quoted from six to eight guineas per cwt., with 1 tie business doing, but it is generally supposed that a deprecia tion, even from these just quoted, will take place previous to,. ur at, our ensuing fair..
